Show The New Star was rather more hil arious over the defeat of the bond proposition than was any other Salt Lake paper. We put this down to the infinite credit of the Star. We trust soon to see the day when there will be no bonding of the counties allowed in Utah and no subsidy by the territory. - These bonds are the very devil when pay day comes. Better let the county make a contribution to the poor, rather than bond for any purpose. This thing of piling up taxes upon a people already over-burdened under the specious plea of famishing employment to the laborers, labor-ers, is as short-sighted a bit of statesmanship states-manship ae could possibly be devised. The Herald dresses down President Smith of the convention for his quiet acquiescence in the gratuitous insult offered of-fered to Delegate Thatcher by Coray of Juab. Thie whole thing is largely a matter of taste. We rather regard it a compliment to Thatcher that he failed to win a plaudit from Coray, . and another an-other that he is condemned by the con vention, John Henry and all. A plaudit from the majority of that convention j would grace no honest democrat such as Moses Thatcher is. If Delegate Thatcher's letter to John Henry Smith, was too long for the records, why was it put in? Mr. Coray calls it a political screed, ' buncombe" bun-combe" and the like. Possibly it is so to men of Coray's stamp, but we know many good men m Utah who will not regard it as such. Indeed we thought it a timely and statesmanlike document. docu-ment. We regret that there are not more Moses Thatchers in the convention. The Ogden Press is very severe upon our friend Glasmann of the Standard. It says Bill is no journalist and the Staudard is no newspaper. Why battle bat-tle against the pair then? Somehow we can't help th-nking Bill and the Standard are rather too much for the Tribune crowd. It will all come out when the republican chairman for Weber is chosen. ,lf it will do him any good we do not- hesitate to say, he is our first choice, by a large majority. ! The quarrel inside the lines of the republican party of Utah is growing a-pace a-pace and it seems to be of that nature that it can't be accommodated. The Tribune has been rather too ruthless and the Standard has proven to be far stronger than the Tribune thought it was. In this battle Chairman Charley Crane finds himself in a devilish ticklish place. Stewart is just a little too previous, lhat Pennsylvania man wont do He comes from too far from suuset. Nearer to the Pacific, Senator; nearer to the Pacific. The next president I must be a free silyer man with a strong southwestern pull to him. He hasn't been named yet. He will ehow up oretty soon. Sknatob Morgan of Alabama haB very sound and catholic views on the subject of our acquiring Cuba We I must ultimately have Cuba, and if this revolution gathers sufficient force to get up a row of portions, which will last a year, our chances will be good Not only Cuba but all the West Indies should be ours.
